endangering yourself and others. Bear in mind that even the
best RC system in the world is subject to outside interference.
No matter how many years of accident-free flying you have
under your belt, you have no idea what will happen during the
next minute.

12. Transport
The set includes a rotor blade support designed to avoid damage
when transporting the FunCopter. Simply fold the rotor blades
back, push them into the two slots in the rotor blade support,
then push the bottom opening in the support over the tail boom.
The FunCopter is now in a compact form, and can be transported
safely.
All of us in the MULTIPLEX team hope you have many hours of
pleasure building and flying your new model.

Repair notes:
The model is extremely robust - but accidents do happen. For
the purpose of possible repairs we have divided the helicopter
into five sub-assemblies:

1. Chassis and landing gear
2. Main rotor
3. Tail rotor
4. Tail boom
5. Fuselage

The graphic illustrations are designed to make it a simple matter
to dismantle and re-assemble each sub-assembly as required.

The following replacement parts are available:

Tips for setting up the transmitter:
If you are using a programmable transmitter, we recommend the following settings:
You can use a simple fixed-wing model memory for the FunCopter, as this avoids unwanted mixers which affect the tail rotor. There is no need to use
a helicopter program.
For “pitch-axis” (“elevator”) and “roll-axis” (“aileron”) you may wish to apply Expo, Dual Rates or reduced travels, depending on the control response you
prefer with your FunCopter. For the tail rotor function you should only use Dual Rates or reduced travel in order to adjust the tail rotor response to suit
your flying style.
We have found it pleasant to fly the model using two flight phases: the first for hovering, where the FunCopter is trimmed out carefully so that it remains
virtually stationary in the air. The second flight phase is then set up with a small trim value for “forward pitch” (down-elevator). This gives the model a
constant tendency to fly forward, which makes circuit flying more comfortable.

We recommend the following values for MULTIPLEX systems:

Function

Flight phase “Hover”

Flight phase “Circuit”

Pitch-axis (elevator)

Expo: 30%, Travel: 70%

Travel: 100%, Trim approx.
5% forward / down

Roll-axis (aileron)

Expo: 30%, Travel: 70%

Travel: 100%

Tail rotor (rudder)

Travel: 60%
